 \usage{
aug(x, ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{dispatch argument}
  \item{\dots}{name-value pairs}
}
\details{
  For each extra argument, an attempt is made to assign its value to
  a like-named element of \code{x} (typically a list or data.frame). The 
  augmented object is returned.  Similar to \code{transform}, but simpler.
